No More Looking Back — текст песни (Kinks)

Walking along a crowded street

I see thousands of faces before me.

Then I see a face that I used to know

Long ago in my life story.

It starts me thinking about the things you said

For your image is still inside me.

The past is gone but in my head

Youre still walking along beside me.

Is it something playing tricks with my eyes

Or just an illusion deceiving me,

Or is it someone in a disguise

Or visions of things that used to be?



But lately Ive been going to

All the places that we once knew,

And just when I think that I am free of you

I keep seeing the things that remind me of you,

And just when I think youre out of my head

I hear a song that you sang or see a book that you read.

Then youre in every bar, youre in every cafŽ,

Youre driving every car, I see you everyday,

But youre not really there cos you belong to yesterday.



No more looking back,

No more living in the past,

Yesterdays gone and thats a fact,

Now theres no more looking back.

Got to be hard,

Yeah, look straight ahead.

That s the only way its going to be,

Yesterdays gone and thats a fact,

Now theres no more looking back,

Perhaps someday Ill stop needing you,

Then maybe one day Ill be free of you.



But lately Ive been going to

All the places that remind me of you.

And just when I think youre out of my head

I hear a record you played or see a book that you read.

Then youre in every bar, youre in every cafŽ,

Youre driving every car, I see you everyday

But youre not really there cos you belong to yesterday.



No more looking back,

No more living in the past.

Yesterdays gone, thats a fact,

Now theres no more looking back.

No more looking back.

No more living in the past.

Yesterdays gone, thats a fact.

Now theres no more looking back.
